Thanks for the info and recommendation to use this superior product which you also found and linked.
. How tightly pack are the internals around the internal POT? Is the potting soft silicone or a hard epoxy? Is it one of those Blue pots like shown here?
Say I successfully get a 1K ohm pot externally wired in. What happens if I lower it too quickly, past a 13.6v setpoint faster than battery voltage would naturally decline? Can I release magic smoke by getting twiddle happy with the pot?
When I lower voltage too quickly on my Meanwell something clicks and output goes to zero until battery voltage falls enough, then it clicks back on. The cheapowatt it made an ugly high pitched sound when voltage was lowered faster than the battery could bleed off the extra voltage.
I take it My light blue Z1 wire should not be the source of the switched ignition feed as it might screw with the 'trick the ECM' resistor which is to be inline between the current field terminal wires.
I can pull a wire from the ignition switch, one that powers the window motors and blower motor and is disengaged during engine starting. Should this be on a relay?
As my 50/120 rests now, unmodified, does one field terminal stud go to one brush and the other FT to the other brush?
